The wind is not my friend

The fishing this time of year is so good, but the wind can be a real pain in the butt in March and April. The days we can sneak outside the inlet during these months are sometimes few and far between it seems, but when it all comes together the fishing can be awesome. It's real cool to pull up to a school of Giant Jacks with all their tails poking through the glassy surface as they daisy chain in a circle. I have seen it thousands of times but it still makes me want to drop a popper fly in the middle of them every time, and it gives most first timers what I call jack fever. We have been fortunate enough as of late to be able to make it out and fish the beach a hand full of times and it never seems to disappoint.
